Boston Squanders Big Game by Grice
The Chicago Cubs had to overcome a big game from Boston center fielder Dennis Grice to leave Fenway Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 11-9. Grice was 4-5 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Picking up his 41st save was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Andrew Gray. The win puts Chicago at 95-61 this season.

Early in the game, first baseman Manuel Jimenez had a 2-run home run for Chicago. It was his 28th home run of the season and put the Cubs on top, 2-0.

"Wild game," said Jimenez after it ended.
